Series Metadata

There is always a Hero. There is always a Princess. And no matter how many times the wheel of time spins them out, there is always something between them... even if that something isn't always easy to define.

Notes:

A series of short stories in which the dynamics of Link and Zelda's relationships are explored across the various games in the franchise; i.e. which ones they get together in, which ones they don't, which ones keep them as strangers, etc. The stories do not need to be read in order.

Currently completed submissions include: Skyward Sword, Minish Cap, two for Ocarina of Time (the AT and CT endings), Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and A Link Between Worlds. More entries are on the way.

Where is there left to go?'

Summary

Rumor has it that late at night, when the rest of the castle has long since gone to sleep, the princess sometimes roams the castle halls. Alone, with none but the light of the moon for her company, she stares in silence at a particular painting. What secrets lay hidden within the lonely canvas? What yearning robs her of her sleep, night after night?

'Perhaps if she'd never been given a reason to dream of anything more, she'd never have known she wanted for it.'
